Far less insightful than the other Charley

I don’t care about the names. It’s simply not enough and for me not good enough for a club of our size. We are going to be found out very soon into the season with midfielders like Mctominay, Matic and this lad if he signs. Very worrying

I haven't seen enough of Longstaff to decide - but if Carrick and OGS first sign AWB, Maguire and James - and then decide Longstaff is the player they want….well then I assume they have seen something worth signing.

In our current situation - what we should do is offload Lukaku ASAP - even if it means accepting £5-6 million less than we hoped for and simply get a midfielder in. If Carrick and OGS want Longstaff and are convinced he is what we need … well pay the £50 million - he will still look a bargain compared to Fred.

Leave Wayne Rooney alone!!

Are we having the 2.0 Carrick-Fletcher combo? If so i trust them to be a good base for our attacking players to do their things. The problem is that our attacking players need to be a lot more consistent and productive in front of goal.

I don't get it. We are playing a 2 man midfield one of them is Pogba.. we then have Mctominay which you would hope Is the other starter as he's on form and progressing well. We still have Fred, Andreas and Matic. Surely we dont need Longstaff. If we bought him in and got rid of Matic then fine but not as extra depth.

Whatever you think of them, and I agree to a point, they are here to stay. Andreas got a new contract this summer and Fred has 4 years left on his. Matic is not good enough and we all can see his decline.

For a 2 man midfield, the numbers we have for those 2 positions are good. Not needing another player for depth is what I said. If it's to replace Matic then great.

Pogba, Mctominay, Longstaff, Andreas, and Fred would be good quality and good numbers.

Agreed - so my vote is to get Longstaff for £35m or whatever and use Gomes as an attacking midfielder. Its going to drive me crazy when Mata/Lingard start ahead of him regularly if Ole does that. I can see it happening though.
